Abstract

M1 and E1 transition rates from the ground to excited states and between excited states in 238U are calculated within the quasiparticle-phonon nuclear model with the wave functions consisting of one- and two-phonon terms. We show that there are relatively large M1 transitions between 2+ states in the low-energy region. The fragmentation of the one-phonon states strongly affects M1 and E1 strength distributions. The correlation takes place between E1 and E3 transition strengths. We show that there are fast E1 and M1 transitions between large components of the wave functions differing by an octupole or quadrupole phonon.
